ard hoisted,
and His stars sparkled; but the Pharisees are yet in an amazing slumber,
immersed in former traditions, and they make play with the signs of Thy
Lord, the Merciful, the Clement.

Thank God that He guided thee unto the fountain of guidance, gave thee to
drink from the cup of affection, summoned thee unto His Supreme Kingdom
and chose thee from among those people. This is a favor wholly above
comprehension and is not realized by the intellects which are negligent of
the Lord of hosts and angels.

O thou friend! Endeavor so that thou mayest ascend to the station which is
above the firmaments, near to the Generous Lord who created and made thee.

"O thou bright pearl!..."

O thou bright pearl!

Endeavor, and spare no effort, and hasten to the Kingdom of thy Lord, the
Lord of the shining and clear evidences and arguments.

abundance of the clouds of His mercy, which preceded the postulates, and
from which all the existing beings have been awakened and issued, and to
which they will return.

Therefore, use thy utmost power to sow and cast those pure seeds, the
divine teachings, in the hearts which move and cheer by the fragrance of
God.

Convey my greeting and praise to thy honored, noble-minded husband, for I
love him with all that is within me.

to diffuse the breaths of God, to speak the praise of God and to turn thy
face to the Kingdom of ABHA, to be freed from depending on this world, to
be kindled by the fire of the love of God, to be adorned with the ornament
of perfection; to be the center of those virtues and characteristics
wherewith the inner qualities of man are ornamented, to be confirmed by
the breaths of the Holy
